Sacred Heart of Jesus, Baldwin, Louisiana

Below are pictures of Sacred Heart of Jesus Catholic Church, Baldwin, Louisiana. I could not find a web site for this Parish and have very little information about the age of the parish or the church. These pictures were taken late in the afternoon as evident by the long shadows. Enjoy!

St. Peter's Catholic Church of New Iberia, Louisiana

This post includes pictures of St. Peter's Catholic Church located at 108 East Saint Peter Street, New Iberia, Louisiana. Ground breaking ceremonies for the present church were held on May 30, 1951. Construction of the church covered a two-year period. Final work was completed during the first months of 1953.


This was a difficult church to photograph because it is placed close to the street and there are a large number of poles and cables across the front of the church.

Sacred Heart of Jesus Catholic Church, Broussard, LA

Sacred Heart of Jesus Catholic Church in Broussard, Louisiana was founded in 1883. The current Church building was built and dedicated in 1954. It seats approximately 500 parishioners. In 2004, the Church embarked on a major expansion program that included a large “Narthex” or “Gathering Space”, (an enclosed foyer for parishioners to gather before and after services), a new Administrative Center and a Parish Life Center were built. Enjoy the pictures.
